People are honestly complaining for the sake of complaining. The cinematic adds a new dimension to her character that we didn’t have before and it’s great.

It didn’t tell us anything we didn’t know, except a childhood friend getting frienzoned.

This is the same for Rise and Shine and mostly Honor and Glory. It’s called character development.

Like, I had no idea she was selfless that’s kinda stupid example but it makes her character less celebrity and more human

What dimension is that? That she fought and lost people? That was to be expected.
Its no different to Pharah’s comic.

We needed lore, not more of what we already knew.

There’s no character development here. Rise and Shine and Honor and Glory did character development. This short only showed us some predictable flashback that has nothing to do with Overwatch. At least the Mei and Rein short advanced the story, this one did nothing, it didn’t even add any lore.

You can see that she isn’t just some one-dimensional overly-happy “gamer girl” and that she actually cares about people and is capable of showing emotion.

After so many months of, “D.Va is such a boring character hurr hurr” seeing her as Hana and not as D.Va is refreshing.

You mean like the entire cast except Talon members?

This short made D.Va so much more relatable for me. The whole “It’s okay to ask help” -thing hit so close to home for me. I’ve been bit of a workaholic on past and reluctant on asking help from others. Taking too much weight on my shoulders. And that didn’t end up well for me.

I used to play D.Va a lot back in 2016-17 but i never saw all this depth in her character before this short. Lore wise, she feels like new hero now.

You can see that on any character fighting a war.

Nothing in the game so far has indicated that D.Va has any sensitive side, except for maybe one or two voicelines here and there. It frankly does not matter how many other characters have a similar personality. This is purely character development that the community asked for and has asked for for a long time.

Giving her a personality a lot of other characters have in the cast is NOT character development.

There was never a hint that she had a selfish personality in first place so all in all, we see the Tracer of Korea. The unique trait of D.Va is still that she is a high skilled gamer, nothing new. What people call ‘new’ is that she behaves like a typical Overwatch agent, something that shouldn’t be shocking to begin with.

The story as a whole does not progress one bit.

The animation and voice acting were fine. That’s the only thing good I have to say about it.

The “emotional” story was bland, predictable, and lacking any sort of good character development.

But hey, at least D.va fans/mains got to see their bait fly her mech and friendzone some random guy.

The community mostly wants the story to advance, now we have to wait another year with a short that adds nothing to the story, not even to D.Va.

It really doesn’t tell anything new. We know she’s fighting Omnics in meka. OK that fallen brother (RIP) is someone new but he hardly add any new info also. If the short was about the “race” they mentioned then it would have been more interesting.

Character development, or developing a character, is still character development no matter how many characters are similar.

You know “the community” isn’t a single group of people who all want the same thing. If you seriously believe that I’m wrong in saying “the community” has been asking for D.Va lore (As well as Zenyatta, Pharah, Lucio etc.) since the beginning of time then I don’t really know what to tell you.

I’m sure your “story-advancing” lore will come eventually.

This short didn’t give us any D.Va lore.

It gave us some character development, showed off more of Busan and her influence there, revealed her friend, showed how the omnics attacking Busan work etc. etc.

“Any” is hardly accurate. The only argument you can have here is whether there was enough lore. In my opinion, there was for now. Feel free to think differently, not that you need my permission.
